Gon sprawled across the tangled sheets, chest heaving, the air thick with the scent of sweat and Lyssa floral perfume
Her ragged breaths echoed beside him, her bare shoulder brushing his as she propped herself up on one elbow, violet eyes glinting with a mix of exhaustion and suspicion
The conquest had been a whirlwind, her sharp tongue silenced, her haughty resistance melted into gasps, but now, as the heat faded, something else stirred

It wasn't just a notification, it was a vision
Golden runes danced before his eyes, shimmering like liquid fire against a backdrop of endless black
They pulsed with power, each glyph humming a low, resonant note that vibrated through his skull
His breath caught
This wasn't the dull buzz of Level 1's awakening, this was a symphony, a promise of something greater
